As I read, I kept going back and forth on whether I liked the book or not. By the end, I decided that the storyline wasn't a super draw for me, but that I was starting to enjoy the friendship between d'Acquin and Abbess Helewise and that alone might be enough to make me try to pick up the second. I also liked learning more about the time period.
When Richard Plantagenet (son of Eleanor of Aquitaine & Henry II) becomes king he releases all prisoners, in the hope of creating a favorable image for himself. When, soon after this, a nun is murdered at Hawkenlye Abbey, King Richard sends d'Acquin to investigate, solve the murder, and, in the process, prove that there is no connection to the recently released prisoners.
Who else has read these? Opinions about continuing with the series?
